Don't worry. The Trump admin can't get American manufacturers to produce N95s in quantity and they sure as hell won't be able to get astronaut suits.

For those who don’t think masks work — watch this short video where they talk, sing, cough with and without a mask on into Petri dishes.
The results will shock you. And these aren’t even N95 masks, they look like loose surgical masks.

The masks don’t bug me, and neither does President Trump. I think people on the left think he’s a god or should be. There isn’t a person in this country that could have stopped the virus. It’s insane to blame it on Trump. Something with a fourteen day incubation period that can spread this easily was entirely unstoppable once it got out to the greater public.

Should masking become a permanent, mandated, normal?

How did Trump bungle the production. We had no production. Remember it was the Libs that said it would be a disaster when Trump tried to bring back jobs and factories from China. Anyone could see that would be a good thing. But no Libs had to play politics.

And yes the largest manufacturing nation is China and that is the way are Libs have fought to keep things. They even make 90% of or medical supplies. And of course they kept the mask for themselves.

And Trump knew there was going to be a shortage of the mask. And there was a shortage for even medical personal. They had to be protected first. Even with the amount of people buying up the mask there was still a shortage. Would have been even worse if more wanted the mask. So Trump did the right thing that would help the most people. We could not lose the people that treat the patients.

China even makes most of our prescription drugs or the ingredients. Libs somehow think if ever a war they will still be able to buy stuff from China.

USA no longer manufactures hardly anything anymore. That is why Trump had been fighting to bring back jobs and factories.
People say we should have been wearing mask from the beginning. How would it help for people to panic when they could not get any.

It is quite the conundrum: vote for the guy who has systematically destroyed America since 1972 with all the love in the world for Beijing or vote for the current moron, who in all fairness has done a good deal of destruction in four years, to "lead" you.

Do people down a bottle of Pepto Bismol before they pull that lever on Election Day?

Hell to the NO.

Should red flag laws, the banning of bump stocks, eminent domain at the border, and rampant asset forfeiture become a permanent, mandated, normal?

No, and anyone who advocates such a policy should be offered an all-expenses-paid trip to Taliban-controlled territory in Afghanistan, where they can experience what it's like to be forced to wear a burka (if female) or grow a bushy beard (if male).
